Sedimentay rocks like greywacke of arkose, in presence of high fluid-rock ratio, can be converted to epidosite. The feldspars present in these rocks are altered to epidote & these rocks contain already quartz which together form epidosites.
Epidosites also occur as part of metasomatic skern association. sedimentary dolomite associated with ultramafics often show contact zone metasomatism, in which Ca- minerals are often altered into epidote. Quartz is produced as by products in the reactions.
What else can I help you with?
When sedimentary rock melts what does it become?
It turns into a metamorphic rock.
How does sedimentary rock form to metamorphic rock?
Shale (a metamorphic rock) goes through heat and pressure than it turns into slate (a sedimentary rock)
What turns into metamorphic rock?
Igneous, sedimentary and pre-existing metamorphic rocks.
When sediment turns into sedimentary rock does sedimentary rock turn back to sediment?
Sedimentary rock can be broken down into sediment through processes like weathering, erosion, and transportation. However, this process takes a very long time and is influenced by various factors such as temperature, pressure, and geological conditions. It is a natural cycle where sediment can be transformed into sedimentary rock and then back into sediment over millions of years.
What happens to an igneous rock before it turns into a sedimentary rock?
Before an igneous rock turns into a sedimentary rock, it goes through the process of weathering and erosion. This breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, or sediment, which is then transported and deposited in layers. Over time, these layers become compacted and cemented together to form a sedimentary rock.
When sedimentary rock melts what does it become?
It turns into a metamorphic rock.
How do heat and pressure change sedimentary rock?
A metamorphic rock is formed when sedimentary rock is subjected to heat and pressure!
What are uses for epidosite?
this rock use for make a drug
What type of rock does limestone become when it turns into metamorphic rock?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock but due to metamorphosis it turns to Marble, a metamorphic rock.
How can a metamorphic rock turn into sedimentary rock and then back to metamorphic?
metamorphic rock melts turns into lava,lava cools turns into igneous rock,igneous rock is weathered and eroded into sediment,sediment turns into sedimentary rocksedimentary rock gets heated and squeezed forms metamorphic rockcycle continues.......
How does sedimentary rock form to metamorphic rock?
Shale (a metamorphic rock) goes through heat and pressure than it turns into slate (a sedimentary rock)
What sedimentary rock turns into the igneous rock basalt?
None. Basalt is formed by the rapid cooling of mafic (silica-poor) magma. It is not formed from sedimentary rock.
What changes are involved when mud from a lake bottom turns into a sedimentary rock then into a metamorphic rock?
When mud from a lake bottom turns into a sedimentary rock, it undergoes compaction and cementation. To transform into a metamorphic rock, the sedimentary rock experiences heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust, causing recrystallization and mineral changes. This process alters the sedimentary rock's original texture, structure, and mineral composition.
How can an igneous change into a metamorphic then into a sedimentary rock?
yo bro I got u igneous turns into metamorphic because of extreme pressure and temperature and metamorphic turns into sedimentary rock because through weathering and erosion
Can a metamorphic rock break in half then one half turns into a igneous rock and the other into a sedimentary rock?
The only way a metamorphic rock can become a sedimentary rock is if it is eroded and the pieces settle in a body of water and eventually become sedimentary rock. A whole piece of metamorphic rock is never going to become , by itself, a piece of sedimentary rock.
What turns into metamorphic rock?
Igneous, sedimentary and pre-existing metamorphic rocks.
How does metamorphic turns to sedemantary?
Sedimentary rock is rock that has been worn away and turned into sediment such as sand. That sediment is then compacted together and turned into rock. So metamorphic rock wears away and compacts into sedimentary rock
